There are some houses on the real estate market that tend to draw the eye — sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way, and sometimes in a quizzical manner.

Take this easy-on-the-eyes beauty of a mill house that landed on the market in Clemmons, North Carolina, for $1,990,000and left fans of “Zillow Gone Wild” puzzled.

But it’s not the striking exterior that’s turning heads – but rather the odd interior.

“This one-of-a-kind Mill House contains a rich history in the Clemmons area. Originally part of the Robert E. Lasater Estate, this magnificent structure contains a fully operational mill,” the listing on Zillow says. “Numerous unique items from around the world adorn the residence including a lavish free standing Terrazzo stair case.”

Sill, the staircase isn’t what’s caught the eye of popular Facebook page “Zillow Gone Wild” — it’s the sheer absurdity of what’s on a wall inside the 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom estate: Heads.

“Well, at first glance, it’s very pretty externally,” one fan said. “Internally, the modern doesn’t really work with the old mill outside - and yeah, the wall o’ heads is rather terrifying.”

“Go to the Zillow listing,” another directed. “They have head chairs outside. They like heads, for some odd reason.”

“This isn’t a house. It’s a postmodern art installation designed as a dwelling to live,” another observed.

“Why you gotta ruin a decent house with disembodied heads in the walls?” one fan asked. “Oh to be in the room when the owner explained this to the contractor.”
